The Tax Hii.i.. U will lw mn liy the sketch of proceedings, that the bill to tax property, according to its true value, received Hie sanction of the Senate during the afternoon of yesterday, by a vote of 17 to )ti. Mr. Ewing, of Hamilton, wished to have the bill, which he regarded an one of mueh importance, poil poned n ntd tho next session, in order thai Hie people of the Slate mny havo a still further opportunity of canvassing it merits. In reply, Mr. Kcllej re-innrkiM thai the measure had already been postponed several times, and he Uintiht tho time hud come when the interest of the State imperatively demanded its adoption. Kqual taxation he looked upon as a just principle, which tho peoplu of the State had a right to demand and would sustain. For Jire, successive years, the Auditor of Stale, first Mr. HiiouflH and then Mr. Woous, hud urged the adoption of such a bill as the only mode of enuohYmg taxation, and enabling 'he State to meet honorably and promptly, all Vu engageou-uts. Mr. K. spoke for some time, and the bill wua then adopted without further discussion. It received a second reading in the House last evening, and the last a men dm en la of the Senate were ordered to be printed. Cocsty or Mauosino. The Senate's amendments to the bill for the erection of the county of Mahoning; were agreed to by the House, and the bill has become a law. A bill to repeal it was introduced, and rejected by a vote of 2 to 1. Nkw State 11oi;sk. The House bill for continuing operationa on the New Slate House, by tho use of conv'ut labor, was adopted in the Senate Inst evening, with one slight amendment, by a vote of 10' to Hi. Tha Scnvte CWnVr wa the point of interest t Washington, oa Tued.y, p I (hough much disappointment wai fell when All -.1 a.oic to open the debate on the Oregon questinrt. The Senate, on motion of Mr. Casa, by a vole of M to SW, postponed the previous orders and took up Ihe " Notice.' Alh-n occupied Ih? remainder of the day without concluding Ins re. itm.'is. He considered ihe Oregon question already elf led. Coin pro .use was nut of the- question, long ... ,. .1. I.- ...1 f, ..,.1 fun.M'. lie (lennuueec oom ivtgi wu u would not consent to yield an inch in this controversy. We have some hopes that Coiiwin followed the tall Henator on Wednesday ; although we are not advised I'inL he designed to apeak, except by rumor. If he n'lunld address the Senate, lie will expose with a master hand the duplicity, the inconsistency, the heart, lessucsi and demagogUMin of the adiniiiislralion and its friend on this question ; or we have misjudged his views and feeling. Nothing of interest transpired in the Mouse . The Committee on Bonds and Canals reported a Mil Sir the completion of the Cumberland road in Ohio, Illinois and to Jefferson City, Mo. Keeping Hnek the 1'nel! n tiie debate on the Oregon question in the Senate, on Tuesday last, while Allen was in full blast, in favor of giving the notice, Mr. Muiigum, of North Carolina, interrupted him to inquire whether it was not a faeUhal hud .Ihrnltm had declared in his remark to Mr. MrUine that the. notice rrttirrd from the t'nitrd H: el ft to terminate, the tonrcntion brlirren thr, Cnitid Malta and I'.ityhotd, vold not he regarded hy Unffhtutl, tig in any tray offctwirc t This is an important question, and one tint Mr. Allen could, we prsuiiie, answer authoritatively. The verv fact tint it was asked by such a man as Mr. Man-guni, shows that tho impression exists at Washing, ton that the President bus kept back important facta, while affecting to comply with Hie call of Cong reus for the correspondence in reference to the Oregon difficult?. Now, it uny be that no such remurk as that alluded to, was ever made by Lord Aberdeen. Hul, if so, there certainly could be no reason for wiihhold-an answer. If it was made, undoubtedly the fact Inn been made known to the lending friends of the President in both Houses, and tlm vote was taken in the House, on the Notice," with an assurance from England herself Hint she would not tnko offence nt it. We have all along expressed Ihe conviction that the mere mat ire to quit, " would not give olfciico to Ivig-lnnd. The tone of tlte llrilinh journals, brought by the late steamer, served to remove the Inst slmde of doubt on ihe point. Mirny of them anticipated the passage of the proportion, although they dd not suppose that ditrrrtivwiry power would be given to the President as to the time when the notice is to lie forwarded. The resolutions adopted do not say when the notice shall Ih given, the word "forthwith " having been emseil, by a decided vole of the House, on motion of tho Chairmnit of Ihe Committee on Foreign Relations, the prime mover in thu proceeding. Courageous men, those Locofoco members, who voted for Ihe "notice," with an assurance in their pockets, sign ed and sealed by Ci real Britain, tlmt she would not take oftencoat the movement, (.real Unlain nan, thus far. certainly manifested a very generous dispo sition to allow the administration to make what little political capiiiit out of this question, it deems proper. When asked the question alluded to above, Mr. Allen replied lint he was willing the question should lie asked, but not willing lo answer it. He supposed Ihe Senator front North Carolina hud just Ihe information he asked for, and it was not necessary, therefore, th.-t Aft should answer the question. This evasion left any thing but a satisfactory impression on ihe Senate. Ilcapoime nrCtivuhnsn County to lnvid Tod'a lrogrciYe Deiiiiirruey I A meeting of the Democracy of Bedford township, Cuvalmga county, was held on Ihe !Hh inst., whose nrocccdiuirfl a linear in the Cleveland IMaiudealer, of Tuesday last, without note or commentary the editor of the paper having refrained from even the slightest expression favorable to the proceedings of Ihe Bill of January, so utterly disgusted is he with the insolent dielation of a few party leaders and the duplicity of David Tot). His lileuce has been profound as thai of the grave, thus far, on the new isuc forced on the purly. Ilirant Bicnn, I.-tq , was Chairman ol llie meeting alluded to above, and R. S. Bldwin,decreUry. The Committee on resolutions made a report, a portion of which alone, can we find room for; and we do wn know that thai would be published, did we not believe it would be denied admission into Ihe columns of the Siattmui ; although ordered to be published in that piper. In their preamble they denounce Ihe leader of the party, as recreant to true, time honored demo-cra'ic principles, and chargn lliem with substituting ' a kind of progression wltich must in our (their) estimation lead to fiction and misrule, and result in (Ar tmnut nrkilrary laws trrr rntrtrd Ay u frfnjifitple!" Tli-jT cannot bu mistaken on this point. They elnrge these progressive, self-constituted leaders with having declared for "destruction to all chartered rights,' whether for Churches, Schools or KnilrnaiU, but espe-eially against any thing like a paper currency, though apecin may be its bisis, and perfect security may characterise the bill." Though "humble cultivators of the soil" they declare th.il they have a right to speak out against tic new creed, introduced by a " few factious delegates" from " tho breeches pocket of David Tod." They then, arter a resolution in favor of our claims to the " whole of Oregon," thus resolved nVWrrrf, That we do not acknowledge the aenti-inents expressed in the tilh, 7th, and Hth resolutions, reported and adopted at the late Democratic Convention in Columbus, as Wing the sentiments of the gmtt drmnrratir party in Ohio, but look upon lliem only s the sentiments of a fewtisWriinfs, having the endorsement of that Convention, intriif ninety obtained.

That we cheerfully nciiuiesce in the icn- liments contained in the justly celebrated letter of Imiii Ion, so lar as they relate in our right to urn-gon to a tariff for revenuethe independent treasury system 1 but upon the subject of tin mice we cannot refrain from declaring our strict adherence to the true Democratic motto; " Hank rrfurm tind rhnrtrr with itidiridwit tiahilitii," upon which point Col. Tod in forms us he has chnnged his views. The Democrats of Bedford have not changed, and therefore our paths Biparaie.

Rctotrrdi That tho motto, uncompromising hostility to paper currency," recommended to he inscribed upon the democratic'hanncr of Ohio, breathes a doctrine too " agrarian" for the Democrncy of Bedford ; nor do we believe that the great democratic banner of Ol.io will ever unfurl its ampin folds, disclosing such a motto. llrsolrrd, That the Democrat of Bedford, with unflinching adherence to the doctrines of the true Jef- fersoniau school, will go Dratntrury as it irast and at it w, and they would cheerfully go Tad aa ho was, but not as he is. Theme who adopted these resolutions have certain' ly been guilty of a great inconsistency in declaring for the Sub-Treasury. Havo they yet to learn that tltis Sub-Treasury is a part of the machinery set in motion to destroy tho Banks of the co intry ; and that the leading arguments of the ultras in thetjth of Jan uary Convention, in favor of Bank destruction, wero based on the assumption tint it was necessary to the adoption of the Sub-Treasury f Tatntion in Yirginin A correspondent of the Rochester (N. Y.) Advertiser writing from Western Virginia, thus alludes to the Tux System of Virginia, and the u mount of burthens borne by the people of that Stale. It must be con ho-ling to the men of the Old Dominion, to feel that in tho dilapidated condition of their Slate, its "progress" backwards in wealth and prosperity, the expense of keeping up such a stale of things is but light : Taxks, &.C. Although your letter makes no inquiry as to our taxes, yet I have thought it well enough to direct your attention to it. Virginia owes no public debt. It is true, she has a nominal debt of about five or six millions ; but her public stocks would,to-moi-row, even under the hammer, pay off nil she owes. Consequently our people ore not hurlhened with taxation.I proceed to give you a list of our taxable article with the taxes thereon. They ore as follows: Laud for every hundred dollars in value $ 10 Horses, each - - - 10 ilniss clocks - y5 Wooden clocks ------ k Patent lever watches .... f() (i-.ld watches 1 00 Common silver watches 25 Pleasure carriages, one and a hnlf per ct. on value. Piano forte, if under $100 in valuo - - 1 00 do. if over $100 in value - - !i 00 Stallions and jackasses, twice the season price. These constitute the articles, mid all the articles taxable by tl)cSt tti, excepting bank Hlock, intere.it on loans, stocks in the public works, which 1 suppose I need not specify. There is also a ronrtttf tax for the purpose of defraying the county cxiicnses. This is what we call our mll-ttir. It never amounts to more than $l,r0oncaeh titheuhle. A titheable is any white male person over Hi years. The object of this comity levy is to build bridges, repair court houses, and defray the ordinary expenses incident to every county organization. You will thus perceive that our taxes amount to little or nothing. I suppose there is hardly a State in thu Union, lest burdened by taxation thim Virginia. OHIO LEGISLATURE.

So far as t am informed on the suhjert, (his is the first attempt to construct a machine of the kmd, and it appears to me to be an eminently successful one. I lie machine is very compact, not occupying a spuco ot more than about ix inches each way. It runs with so much ease, that I should suppose one person might easily operate W or lltl of thein, and the work in done in a most thorout'li and perfect manner. JbiMi sides ot the seam look alike, nppearing to Ih- beautiful hf $titrhtdy and the seam is closer and more uniform than when sewed by band, II will sew straight or curved seams with eiptal facility, and so rnpidly tlmt it takes but two minute to sew the whole length of the outside wain of a pair of men's pnnlaloons. It nets 4 1 HI stitches a minute with perfect ease, and the proprietor thinks them in no dilliculty in setting ?ti0 in a minute. The thread is less worn by this process than by hand sewing, and ronseipieutly retains more of its strength. The simplicity of the construction of this machine, and the accuracy, rapidity, and perfection of its operation, will ptaceit in the same rank with the card mnchine, the the straw braider, the pin machine, and the coach lace loom machines which never fnil to command the admiration of every intelligent beholder. llotton iorrr. oj' Hortrtlrr Spy.

Mr. Kki.i.kv apoko in reply to Mr. Kwing. For five successive years past, your Auditor of Htnte, the principal financial otlicer of the commonwenllh, has recommended a measure similar to this. For three years, the measure has been presented for the action of the Legislature; first, in tins House of Representatives, where, after it had received some consideration, it was postponed until the first Monday of December following. The next year, it was brought forward in the Senate, and having passed that body, was by the House postponed until the first Monday of December following. Karly in the present sessionn, this measure was brought forward, and lias received nn unusual share of the attention of the Senate, and now it is again proposed to postpone the subject until the first Monday of December next. It seems like Shakespeare s lo-uiorrow anu to-morrow and to-morrow- creeps on its petty pace from day lo day, until the last period of recorded time." It is ail i u i tied that something must he done ; and it issullicieut torme to know that the principle nl this hill ih right; and what is right, the people will sustain. Air.

L'iraine, and Thomas, three citizens of Ohio, within the unquestionable territory of this Slate, Iheir transportation and incarceration in the jail of larkerslmrgh, under the pretext of an infraction of the criminal law of Virginia, wus an unwarrantable on rage upon the rights of this Stale. Kesohed, That the auhsequcnt conduct of the an-tJiorihes of Virginia, in refusing compliance with the requisition of the Governor of this Stale to deliver over t,c perpetrators of the deed for trial, and holding the three kidnapped citizens in jail, after a session of their criminal court, was a sanction and adoption, on the part of thot Stale, of tlie outrage committed by her citizeiif. ' Resottrd, That when our territory is thus violated, the offending State refuses satisfaction, and, upon application to the Federal Government, interference and redress are neglected or refused, it then becomes our duty and just right to take it into our own hands, and to redress the wrongs indicted upon the sovereignty of the State, by the power thereof, in conformity with international law. T he Report was laid on the table to be printed. Mr. Brown of Montgomery, from the committee on Claims, reported back the resolution for the relief of Solomon Pentz, and it wtis adopted. mr. It I, t.Ao ii Kit, troiii tho Judiciary committee, reported back the resolution in reference to the claim of flenj. F. Stiekney, and it was adopted. Mr. Mason, from the Judiciary committee, reported hack the hill to amend the act incorporating tho Cincinnati College, recommending its indefinite postponement.Mr. Mason said with all his desire to encourage tjia Law Department of the Cincinnati College, he could not think it would be wise or politic, to afford this encouragement in the mode proposed by this bill. The period of study for a student of law as prescrib ed uy Bialule, is iwo years. This term is already too short by, al least, one year, to enable the student to acquire such a knowledge of the principles and practice of the law as is indispensable to qualify him for the arduous, and often most difficult and responsible duties of his prolcssion. For the reputation of the pre tension and the interest of the public, I would much rather extend, than abridge the term of study as is proponed to lie done by thi bill. This reduction of the period prescribed for juridical study is sought to bo vindicated on the ground that the superior advantages afforded by tho Law School, over those of tho Lawyer's office, ure a sufficient compensation for any loss that may arise from lessening tin; usual term allowed for study. No doubt but he law school, under the management of the able and faithful Professors who fill tho chairs in that institution, does afford facililiea for tho successful prosecution of leiral studies, ereater than are ordinarily enjoyed by students in tho office of tho practitioner. But this concession most willingly made in favor of that school, falls very fur short of proof that the term of study can be safely abridged in favor of me aiuucius oi mai institution. It is tor the interest of the s'udent himself that he should not be hurried, with rail-road speed, into the profession. Time must be allowed, not only to acquire a competent knowledgo of the d liferent branches of jurisprudence, but to form those mental habits, without which, learning itself is unavailing. My advice to law studenls has always been, to lie in no bus to to enter Ihe professional arena, but to wait till they were thoroughly prepared for the contest. Other counsels have prevailed ; andthccoii. sequence has been that multitudes of deserving young men have Ih-cii made to feel tho bitterness of disap. poiiilment in the failure of their hopes to realize tho rew ards and honors of their profession. Mr. M. said he understood that the time of attendance at the law school had formed a part of the term of the two years ho is required to study. This was doubtless very proper. But to do more than this, would, in his well considered opinion, be injurious a like to the student, the public and the profession. The reputation of the professors, and the admitted advantages which the student may derive from their instructions, cannot fail to secure to that school a preference over the attorney's office in the business of legal education. The foundation of my objection to this hill, is that the term of study as now fixed by law, is too short, no matter how great the facilities, or how careful and thorough the instructions may be that its students enjoy. To abridge this time, is to abridge the student's chances of success in future life, with no compensating advantage to hi in for this palpable injury to his professional reputation and prospects. For these reasons, the Judiciary committee has recommended the indefinite postponement of the bill. Before taking tho question, The House took a recess. HOt'SE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Prayer by the Rev.

U will lw mn liy the sketch of proceedings, that the bill to tax property, according to its true value, received Hie sanction of the Senate during the afternoon of yesterday, by a vote of 17 to )ti. Mr. Ewing, of Hamilton, wished to have the bill, which he regarded an one of mueh importance, poil poned n ntd tho next session, in order thai Hie people of the Slate mny havo a still further opportunity of canvassing it merits. In reply, Mr. Kcllej re-innrkiM thai the measure had already been postponed several times, and he Uintiht tho time hud come when the interest of the State imperatively demanded its adoption. Kqual taxation he looked upon as a just principle, which tho peoplu of the State had a right to demand and would sustain. For Jire, successive years, the Auditor of Stale, first Mr. HiiouflH and then Mr. Woous, hud urged the adoption of such a bill as the only mode of enuohYmg taxation, and enabling 'he State to meet honorably and promptly, all Vu engageou-uts. Mr. K. spoke for some time, and the bill wua then adopted without further discussion. It received a second reading in the House last evening, and the last a men dm en la of the Senate were ordered to be printed. Cocsty or Mauosino. The Senate's amendments to the bill for the erection of the county of Mahoning; were agreed to by the House, and the bill has become a law.

The Senate, on motion of Mr. Casa, by a vole of M to SW, postponed the previous orders and took up Ihe " Notice.' Alh-n occupied Ih? remainder of the day without concluding Ins re. itm.'is. He considered ihe Oregon question already elf led. Coin pro .use was nut of the- question, long ... ,. .1.

We have some hopes that Coiiwin followed the tall Henator on Wednesday ; although we are not advised I'inL he designed to apeak, except by rumor. If he n'lunld address the Senate, lie will expose with a master hand the duplicity, the inconsistency, the heart, lessucsi and demagogUMin of the adiniiiislralion and its friend on this question ; or we have misjudged his views and feeling. Nothing of interest transpired in the Mouse . The Committee on Bonds and Canals reported a Mil Sir the completion of the Cumberland road in Ohio, Illinois and to Jefferson City, Mo. Keeping Hnek the 1'nel! n tiie debate on the Oregon question in the Senate, on Tuesday last, while Allen was in full blast, in favor of giving the notice, Mr. Muiigum, of North Carolina, interrupted him to inquire whether it was not a faeUhal hud .Ihrnltm had declared in his remark to Mr. MrUine that the. notice rrttirrd from the t'nitrd H: el ft to terminate, the tonrcntion brlirren thr, Cnitid Malta and I'.ityhotd, vold not he regarded hy Unffhtutl, tig in any tray offctwirc t This is an important question, and one tint Mr. Allen could, we prsuiiie, answer authoritatively. The verv fact tint it was asked by such a man as Mr. Man-guni, shows that tho impression exists at Washing, ton that the President bus kept back important facta, while affecting to comply with Hie call of Cong reus for the correspondence in reference to the Oregon difficult?. Now, it uny be that no such remurk as that alluded to, was ever made by Lord Aberdeen. Hul, if so, there certainly could be no reason for wiihhold-an answer. If it was made, undoubtedly the fact Inn been made known to the lending friends of the President in both Houses, and tlm vote was taken in the House, on the Notice," with an assurance from England herself Hint she would not tnko offence nt it. We have all along expressed Ihe conviction that the mere mat ire to quit, " would not give olfciico to Ivig-lnnd. The tone of tlte llrilinh journals, brought by the late steamer, served to remove the Inst slmde of doubt on ihe point. Mirny of them anticipated the passage of the proportion, although they dd not suppose that ditrrrtivwiry power would be given to the President as to the time when the notice is to lie forwarded. The resolutions adopted do not say when the notice shall Ih given, the word "forthwith " having been emseil, by a decided vole of the House, on motion of tho Chairmnit of Ihe Committee on Foreign Relations, the prime mover in thu proceeding. Courageous men, those Locofoco members, who voted for Ihe "notice," with an assurance in their pockets, sign ed and sealed by Ci real Britain, tlmt she would not take oftencoat the movement, (.real Unlain nan, thus far. certainly manifested a very generous dispo sition to allow the administration to make what little political capiiiit out of this question, it deems proper. When asked the question alluded to above, Mr. Allen replied lint he was willing the question should lie asked, but not willing lo answer it. He supposed Ihe Senator front North Carolina hud just Ihe information he asked for, and it was not necessary, therefore, th.-t Aft should answer the question. This evasion left any thing but a satisfactory impression on ihe Senate. Ilcapoime nrCtivuhnsn County to lnvid Tod'a lrogrciYe Deiiiiirruey I A meeting of the Democracy of Bedford township, Cuvalmga county, was held on Ihe !Hh inst., whose nrocccdiuirfl a linear in the Cleveland IMaiudealer, of Tuesday last, without note or commentary the editor of the paper having refrained from even the slightest expression favorable to the proceedings of Ihe Bill of January, so utterly disgusted is he with the insolent dielation of a few party leaders and the duplicity of David Tot). His lileuce has been profound as thai of the grave, thus far, on the new isuc forced on the purly. Ilirant Bicnn, I.-tq , was Chairman ol llie meeting alluded to above, and R. S. Bldwin,decreUry. The Committee on resolutions made a report, a portion of which alone, can we find room for; and we do wn know that thai would be published, did we not believe it would be denied admission into Ihe columns of the Siattmui ; although ordered to be published in that piper. In their preamble they denounce Ihe leader of the party, as recreant to true, time honored demo-cra'ic principles, and chargn lliem with substituting ' a kind of progression wltich must in our (their) estimation lead to fiction and misrule, and result in (Ar tmnut nrkilrary laws trrr rntrtrd Ay u frfnjifitple!" Tli-jT cannot bu mistaken on this point. They elnrge these progressive, self-constituted leaders with having declared for "destruction to all chartered rights,' whether for Churches, Schools or KnilrnaiU, but espe-eially against any thing like a paper currency, though apecin may be its bisis, and perfect security may characterise the bill." Though "humble cultivators of the soil" they declare th.il they have a right to speak out against tic new creed, introduced by a " few factious delegates" from " tho breeches pocket of David Tod." They then, arter a resolution in favor of our claims to the " whole of Oregon," thus resolved nVWrrrf, That we do not acknowledge the aenti-inents expressed in the tilh, 7th, and Hth resolutions, reported and adopted at the late Democratic Convention in Columbus, as Wing the sentiments of the gmtt drmnrratir party in Ohio, but look upon lliem only s the sentiments of a fewtisWriinfs, having the endorsement of that Convention, intriif ninety obtained.

Although your letter makes no inquiry as to our taxes, yet I have thought it well enough to direct your attention to it. Virginia owes no public debt. It is true, she has a nominal debt of about five or six millions ; but her public stocks would,to-moi-row, even under the hammer, pay off nil she owes. Consequently our people ore not hurlhened with taxation.I proceed to give you a list of our taxable article with the taxes thereon. They ore as follows: Laud for every hundred dollars in value $ 10 Horses, each - - - 10 ilniss clocks - y5 Wooden clocks ------ k Patent lever watches .... f() (i-.ld watches 1 00 Common silver watches 25 Pleasure carriages, one and a hnlf per ct. on value. Piano forte, if under $100 in valuo - - 1 00 do. if over $100 in value - - !i 00 Stallions and jackasses, twice the season price. These constitute the articles, mid all the articles taxable by tl)cSt tti, excepting bank Hlock, intere.it on loans, stocks in the public works, which 1 suppose I need not specify. There is also a ronrtttf tax for the purpose of defraying the county cxiicnses. This is what we call our mll-ttir. It never amounts to more than $l,r0oncaeh titheuhle. A titheable is any white male person over Hi years. The object of this comity levy is to build bridges, repair court houses, and defray the ordinary expenses incident to every county organization. You will thus perceive that our taxes amount to little or nothing. I suppose there is hardly a State in thu Union, lest burdened by taxation thim Virginia. OHIO LEGISLATURE.

So far as t am informed on the suhjert, (his is the first attempt to construct a machine of the kmd, and it appears to me to be an eminently successful one. I lie machine is very compact, not occupying a spuco ot more than about ix inches each way. It runs with so much ease, that I should suppose one person might easily operate W or lltl of thein, and the work in done in a most thorout'li and perfect manner. JbiMi sides ot the seam look alike, nppearing to Ih- beautiful hf $titrhtdy and the seam is closer and more uniform than when sewed by band, II will sew straight or curved seams with eiptal facility, and so rnpidly tlmt it takes but two minute to sew the whole length of the outside wain of a pair of men's pnnlaloons. It nets 4 1 HI stitches a minute with perfect ease, and the proprietor thinks them in no dilliculty in setting ?ti0 in a minute. The thread is less worn by this process than by hand sewing, and ronseipieutly retains more of its strength. The simplicity of the construction of this machine, and the accuracy, rapidity, and perfection of its operation, will ptaceit in the same rank with the card mnchine, the the straw braider, the pin machine, and the coach lace loom machines which never fnil to command the admiration of every intelligent beholder. llotton iorrr. oj' Hortrtlrr Spy.

Mr. Kki.i.kv apoko in reply to Mr. Kwing. For five successive years past, your Auditor of Htnte, the principal financial otlicer of the commonwenllh, has recommended a measure similar to this. For three years, the measure has been presented for the action of the Legislature; first, in tins House of Representatives, where, after it had received some consideration, it was postponed until the first Monday of December following. The next year, it was brought forward in the Senate, and having passed that body, was by the House postponed until the first Monday of December following. Karly in the present sessionn, this measure was brought forward, and lias received nn unusual share of the attention of the Senate, and now it is again proposed to postpone the subject until the first Monday of December next. It seems like Shakespeare s lo-uiorrow anu to-morrow and to-morrow- creeps on its petty pace from day lo day, until the last period of recorded time."

L'iraine, and Thomas, three citizens of Ohio, within the unquestionable territory of this Slate, Iheir transportation and incarceration in the jail of larkerslmrgh, under the pretext of an infraction of the criminal law of Virginia, wus an unwarrantable on rage upon the rights of this Stale. Kesohed, That the auhsequcnt conduct of the an-tJiorihes of Virginia, in refusing compliance with the requisition of the Governor of this Stale to deliver over t,c perpetrators of the deed for trial, and holding the three kidnapped citizens in jail, after a session of their criminal court, was a sanction and adoption, on the part of thot Stale, of tlie outrage committed by her citizeiif. ' Resottrd, That when our territory is thus violated, the offending State refuses satisfaction, and, upon application to the Federal Government, interference and redress are neglected or refused, it then becomes our duty and just right to take it into our own hands, and to redress the wrongs indicted upon the sovereignty of the State, by the power thereof, in conformity with international law. T he Report was laid on the table to be printed. Mr. Brown of Montgomery, from the committee on Claims, reported back the resolution for the relief of Solomon Pentz, and it wtis adopted. mr. It I, t.Ao ii Kit, troiii tho Judiciary committee, reported back the resolution in reference to the claim of flenj. F. Stiekney, and it was adopted. Mr. Mason, from the Judiciary committee, reported hack the hill to amend the act incorporating tho Cincinnati College, recommending its indefinite postponement.Mr. Mason said with all his desire to encourage tjia Law Department of the Cincinnati College, he could not think it would be wise or politic, to afford this encouragement in the mode proposed by this bill. The period of study for a student of law as prescrib ed uy Bialule, is iwo years. This term is already too short by, al least, one year, to enable the student to acquire such a knowledge of the principles and practice of the law as is indispensable to qualify him for the arduous, and often most difficult and responsible duties of his prolcssion. For the reputation of the pre tension and the interest of the public, I would much rather extend, than abridge the term of study as is proponed to lie done by thi bill. This reduction of the period prescribed for juridical study is sought to bo vindicated on the ground that the superior advantages afforded by tho Law School, over those of tho Lawyer's office, ure a sufficient compensation for any loss that may arise from lessening tin; usual term allowed for study. No doubt but he law school, under the management of the able and faithful Professors who fill tho chairs in that institution, does afford facililiea for tho successful prosecution of leiral studies, ereater than are ordinarily enjoyed by students in tho office of tho practitioner. But this concession most willingly made in favor of that school, falls very fur short of proof that the term of study can be safely abridged in favor of me aiuucius oi mai institution. It is tor the interest of the s'udent himself that he should not be hurried, with rail-road speed, into the profession. Time must be allowed, not only to acquire a competent knowledgo of the d liferent branches of jurisprudence, but to form those mental habits, without which, learning itself is unavailing. My advice to law studenls has always been, to lie in no bus to to enter Ihe professional arena, but to wait till they were thoroughly prepared for the contest. Other counsels have prevailed ; andthccoii. sequence has been that multitudes of deserving young men have Ih-cii made to feel tho bitterness of disap. poiiilment in the failure of their hopes to realize tho rew ards and honors of their profession. Mr. M. said he understood that the time of attendance at the law school had formed a part of the term of the two years ho is required to study. This was doubtless very proper. But to do more than this, would, in his well considered opinion, be injurious a like to the student, the public and the profession. The reputation of the professors, and the admitted advantages which the student may derive from their instructions, cannot fail to secure to that school a preference over the attorney's office in the business of legal education. The foundation of my objection to this hill, is that the term of study as now fixed by law, is too short, no matter how great the facilities, or how careful and thorough the instructions may be that its students enjoy. To abridge this time, is to abridge the student's chances of success in future life, with no compensating advantage to hi in for this palpable injury to his professional reputation and prospects. For these reasons, the Judiciary committee has recommended the indefinite postponement of the bill. Before taking tho question, The House took a recess. HOt'SE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Prayer by the Rev.

The annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, for Western Texas, closed its session in this place yesterday, after a harmonious and interesting session nf five days. Bishop Soule presided. Rev. Robert Alexander was stationed at Galveston; Rev. O. Fuller, Rev. llmncrS. Thrall, at Austin; Rev.Dc-vilbiss at San Antonio; Rev. John llaynieat Corpus Christi. The three Inst mentioned places are nrie stations. Thus you see this enterprising denomination of Protestant Christians arc wending their way to the West. The Texas Bible Society has resolved to sunnlv pv- cry family .n the State with a copy of the sacred Scrip tures, anu one inousanu nojiars worm oi llie publication of the American Bible Snciety have been received for that purpose. The Conference passed a resolu tion approving or this enterprise, and enjoining upon each of its in m inters the duty of making special efforts for the supply of every family within their re- npective fields of labor. Will not our political friends will not all the true friends of our country, rejoice that this newly acquired State is to be thus early sup- pueu inorougmy wun me sacrca scriptures r We do not think there is row a greater destitution of the sa- red volume here than is common in other new States : hut we do rejoice that the time is at hund when rrrry family will have an opportunity of possessing tho Bible 11 without money and without price."

Among the proposed measures is the publication, at Houston, of a journal devoted to the cause of education. Our principal cities, towns, roads and thoroughfare are crowded with strange faces.
